Opera Mini 3.1 Released for Phones

By Nate Mook | Published February 22, 2007, 12:59 PM

Opera on Wednesday updated the Java-based version of its Web browser for mobile phones, improving connectivity and adding support for more handset models. Opera Mini 3.1 offers one new feature: the ability to better manage RSS feeds.

Newly supported devices include T-Mobile's popular Dash and IDEN-based Motorola phones. Rendering fixes were also made for Samsung's BlackJack. Opera Mini 3.1 is a free download available from the company's Web site. Separately, Google recently released a Windows Mobile based version of its Google Maps application, removing the requirement of Java on Microsoft smartphones.

I have tried Mini3.0 and Mini3.1 I am still disappointed that I can't paste a URL into the Mini3.x URL entry field, it must be typed in. I don't really feel a difference between Opera and Microsoft for my mobile browser.
My device is a HTC 8125 with WinMobile5.0
